Kenneth(Ken) Lewis
1928-2020
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Kenneth (Ken)
Lewis Sr., on Wednesday, August 19, 2020.
Ken was the beloved husband of 71 years to Vicki, Dad to Ken (Carol)
Lewis and Beverley (John) Maciel and the very proud Grandfather to
Christina (Bill) Preece, Jordan, Sean (Louis) and Julia. Also proud
and loving Great Grandfather to Jonathan and Christopher and Great
Great Granddaughter Melina.
Ken was born in 1928 in Dunston, England. Due to the war Ken left
school at 15 and went to sea as a cabin boy on the deep sea
tug,” Empire Sandy”. Afterwards he joined the Royal Navy
as a boy seaman and went on to be educated in the Navy and was a
teacher at the Radar School in Wales. As a Petty Officer, the Navy
took him to Korea, Japan, Suez Canal, Malta and Australia. After he
left the Royal Navy he brought the family to Timmins, Ontario where he
worked in the Hollinger Mine for 18 months. Moving to Galt, Ontario in
1962, Ken worked for Grand River Cable Television, then General
Electric in Guelph where he stayed until he retired at 63. In his
retirement he enjoyed cruises, world travel and his
grandchildren.
Ken had a terrific sense of humour, a very quick wit and nothing but
pride for his family which was shown by his immense love and care for
his grandchildren.
As expressions of sympathy donations may be made to Lisaard House or
the Cambridge Self Help Food Bank. Cremation has taken place. A
Celebration of Ken’s life will be announced at a later
date.
